Pourhouse Your Heart: A refuge for singles at Columbia’s favorite dive bar
Beginning with performances by the Black Hearts at 10 pm Saturday night, Columbia’s very own Pourhouse will be passing out numbered roses to single ladies, complimentary numbered tickets to ambitious fellows, and free shots to numerical pairs. On Sunday night, Pourhouse’s Valentine’s Day Ex-orcism Party will offer a safe space for those who missed out over the weekend. Kicking off at 7 pm, singles can bring the photo of an ex to pin to the dartboard for a free Bud Light. Bull’s-eye = FREE OPEN BAR for an hour! 21+. Love at last.
WHEN: Saturday February 13 and Sunday February 14
WHERE: Village Pourhouse (982 Amsterdam Avenue, near 108th Street)
Jump for more weekend fun!

Roosevelt Park to chase away evil spirits (Chrystie St at Grand St, Sun 14 11am–3pm). Bring a friend? A lover? A sister? If nothing else, there’s something to be said for the distraction.

@colt 45 i hate pourhouse, but i hate my ex-boyfriend so much more that I just might compromise my bar-choice morals and taste in beer to have strangers repeatedly stab his face with darts. yay!
@joe The Village Pourhouse is a dive bar??? It is an upscale mini-chain, how could you possibly mistake it for a dive bar?

@Anonymous ummmm…. everyone should find time to drink/smoke/something in the igloo which survives in front of butler.
@woot …Happy Lunar New year!!! also, get rid of the stupid drinking age. I don’t see why people who are 20 or even 19 miss out on all the fun just because we’re “underage”. fuck that. hmm, my recaptcha says “hounded berkowitz”; exactly what I will name my future kid.
